Disposable gloves - Wing thumb or Straight thumb?
I need to get some more disposable gloves for bike work. They're just used for oily stuff like cleaning & decreasing parts, oil changes.. that sort of thing.
I've just noticed that they are available with either wing or straight style thumb and so now can't decided which to get.
Has anyone tried both styles, and if so do you have a preference?

Wing.
Straight thumb for me is uncomfortable, but then I have broken both my thumbs in the past.

Dam...
I was hoping you'd all say straight. I've been gathering up any odd gloves that I could find today in an attempt to work out what I had been using up to now. I was pretty sure that straight was it but now I'm not sure.
At £5.88 a box I want to be sure I get it right!
Might just have to get one of each so I can find out which I prefer.

Maybe that's why not many of them are mechanics?

Well.. as it turned out the only ones I could get from Screwfix were straight thumb... and they do make my thumb ache after a while..
